Remember The Milk: A Online Todo Task Manager
Our reader, Omar has sent me a new regarding a task management that launched today. It is called Remember The Milk. Yes it is another online todo list services, but it is pretty soild on the features. Here is how Omar describes the service:
It’s an online to-do list management system with an innovative tabbed
interface for managing multiple to-do lists. It has all the features
you’d expect (priorities, due dates, time estimates, repeating tasks,
notes)
- Receive reminders via email, instant messenger, and SMS
- Share and publish to-do lists (Example)
- Add tasks via email, and send tasks to other users
- Enter due dates in English (e.g. ‘Tomorrow, ‘Tuesday at 7pm’)
- Printable weekly planner and quick view of upcoming and overdue tasks
- iCalendar and Atom support
- Keyboard shortcuts

More tech to complicate our lives. My Moleskine notebook keeps lists too. Pen or pencil can mark them off as they are done – all kinds of ways to “hack” the notebook for customizing. I just don’t get all the hype about all the ways to keep a TO-DO LIST!?!?! I can’t imagine having to bootup my laptop, go to a website, sign-in, etc. just to check my things to do. I just don’t get it.

I like the idea of it sending SMS to my phone to remind me to do something. One less thing to carry around (as much as I love a good notebook, sometimes I want to travel *really* light)

Wow. This is as great for the To Do list world as Gmail was for e-mail. If you’ve got a cell phone and want to share your To Do’s with colleagues or family members, this is the way to go.
I’m sold.

Remember the Milk is a great service. It’s really helped me organize my life, and everything i have to do.
until remember the milk, i used to keep my to-do-lists on pieces of paper, and it was pretty organized, and worked alright. i had tried converting to a computerized list a few times, but was always unsatisfied, and preferred the paper version.
but not with remember the milk – i’ve ditched my paper version for good now. the interface is super fast and super intuitive once you get used to it a little bit..

A+ for this application/service. I’ve recently converted to using it for all my school assignments – it works perfectly! And by sending it to my SMS phone, I get updates through out the day.
A perfect compliment to my daily planner moleskine, as I still have to write things down throughout the day and have long-range goals written out.

Moleskine? One more thing to carry around in my pockets. I get it out of my head AND my pockets with Remember The Milk. Pen or pencil? More crap to fill your pockets. I just don’t get all the hype about paper. I’m booted up and logged in anyway, couldn’t be happier. Have you seen how much they charge for a Moleskine – you’re a complete mug if you fall for the designer notebook markup.

Remember the Milk is great for traditional to do lists, but http://www.dailytodo.net offers daily, weekly and monthly lists for managing tasks the need to be performed on a regular basis.
